Life care can protect you and your hard earned assets from the ever increasing costs of Long-Term Care. You can live independently but have the assurance of knowing quality health care is on the premises should you need it. When you need nursing care or Assisted Living you do not need to find another facility. The one time entrance fee is similar to paying a one-time Long Term Care Insurance policy premium with no elimination period. Your only financial obligation after that is the monthly fee. Also a portion of your entrance fee and monthly fees are considered medical expenses for your taxes. The tax benefit can be a huge wealth planning tool for many of our residents.
